Quote From: christ4momYou are an awesome, brave person to be tackling this on your own. Stand tall be proud. This abuse has to stop some how. I think you need to find others to be supportive. What about some church in the community . Or do you have like what i have in my home town a place
for abused people women. It isnt just for physical violence but others as well or check out
internet site for domestic abuse .
I actually am a christian, and did ask for help from the church... still waiting on an answer, but I have doubts about anyone really giving the type of help they need with such an ugly thing this is about. I really have all the advice, sympathy, "safety plans" I need and I certainly am not looking to sit around and just talk about it ( 40 years of talking about it, asking for help has not worked).
I am emotionally wraught because thats all that has happened and now these victims are hanging out there and it makes me sick. The last thing I want is to ask for anything beyond a kind word or a shoulder to cry on......... I learned a long time ago asking for help would be useless. Sure you get a lot of "let me know if there is anything I can do..." The reply in my head is always " let me know what your willing to offer or do...". But I am proud and have known all power lies with Jesus so I just go to my knees and ask him to provide, protect, comfort, save, and expose.
